It was mainly recruited in the counties of Ashtabula, Trumbull, Lake, and Geauga, under authority from the Secretry of War, empowering Hon. B.F. Wade and Hon. John Hutchins to raise a regiment of cavalry and a battery of artillery. In its ranks were two hundred and fory-nine men and ten commissioned officers. The battery reported for service at Camp Dennison, on the 1st of January, 1862, and on the 5th of February left that camp, destined for Kansas. It was ordered by General Halleck to remain in St. Louis for orders, and on the 13th of February left for the theatre of war in Tennessee. At Paducah it was attached to the command of General Hurlburt. On the 7th of March it embarked with the army up the Tennessee River, and disembarked at Pittsburg Landing and was transferred to General McClernand's Division. On the 9th of April, 1862, the battery participated in the battle of Pittsburg Landing, Losing four men killed and twenty-six wounded, also fifty horses killed and wounded, and all their guns were left on the field, but were recovered on the following day without damage. The battery participated in the advance on Corinth, and also performed garrison duty at Jackson, Tennessee, until June 2, 1863, and afterwards remained in camp at Lynnville, Tennessee, until March, 1864. The battery participated in the battle of Resaca, Georgia, where it expended three hundred and forty-two rounds of ammunition, without casualties on its side. At Dallas, Georgia, it was engaged in shelling the enemy's works from the 28th to the 30th day of May, and took an active part in repelling the attack of the enemy upon the Federal lines on the evening of the 28th. On the evening of the 19th of May the battery took a position before Kenesaw mountain, and was contantly under fire from that date to the 2d of July, losing two men wounded. On the 3d of July it participated in the engagement of Ruff's Mills. A section of the battery was detached with General Stoneman's cavalry, where it performed good service, silencing the enemy's batteries on two occasions at river crossings. At the siege of Atlanta the battery was located within thirteen hundred yards of the enemy's heavy guns, behind casemated works. Eight men of the battery were wounded, two horses killed, and four wounded during these twenty-eight days of almost continuous firing. The battery marched northward with the army in pursuit of the Confederate General Hood, and reached Gaylesville, Alabama, on the 21st of October, where orders were received to report at Nashville, Tennessee, where it was assigned to the Seventh Cavalry Division. A new supply of horses and harness was drawn, and the battery was constituted horse artillery. It participated in the battle of Nashville, December 15, 1864, and in the pursuit of Hood's demoralized army. From Eastport, Mississippi, the battery was sent to New Orleans, and from thence to Mobile Alabama, landing near Spanish Fort,and occupying a position upon the left of the Federal line. The battery was assigned to the Second Brigade of the Cavalry Division of Mississippi, and marched to Greenville and Montgomery, Alabama. The battery remained at Columbus, Mississippi, until the 27th of July, when it was ordered to Cairo, Illinois, to be mustered out, and from thence it was sent to Camp Dennison, where it was discharged August 17, 1865.
